Cindy: The mushroom. I didn't desire to impact the spongy fungus every bit a kid, together with I wasn't pressured to yesteryear my parents. As a teenager I grew to relish steak amongst mushroom gravy together with at in 1 lawsuit every bit a vegetarian inwards my twenties, I am totally hooked on the earthy, concentrated season of cooked mushrooms. I nonetheless don't similar them raw, though!

Michael: I could likely enjoin mushrooms every bit well, but I'll mix things upward together with become amongst spinach. When I was little, Mum would occasionally endeavour to strength us kids to consume boiled upward spinach mush amongst our sausages. I especially retrieve sitting at the tabular array 1 black for hours merely picking at my soggy pile of greenery. These days (as Cindy mentions below), it's something nosotros consume all the time. I'd enjoin that Indian nutrient likely got me interested - Palak Paneer together with the like.

2. Most underrated vegetable?

Cindy: I mean value nosotros role a lot to a greater extent than spinach than the average household, especially babe spinach leaves. As a salad base, sauteed inwards olive crude every bit a side, stuffed into burgers together with sandwiches, sometimes inwards spanakopita, a soup or a curry. It's my favourite agency to consume my greens.

Michael: I don't actually know how to respond this - who rates vegetables? I volition enjoin that I'm constantly amazed than anyone would prefer cauliflower to broccoli though. Weirdos.

Cindy: (Um, that's me he's refering to.)

3. Name 1 favourite summertime vegetable dish.

Cindy: Wholemeal crackers spread amongst Michael's home-made pesto together with slices of flavoursome blood-red tomato. But I don't honour actually adept tomatoes every bit ofttimes every bit I would like.

Cindy: I'm a suburban daughter who loves greasy potatoes. In wintertime nosotros consume multiple roasting trays total of Irish Gaelic patato chunks, baked amongst olive oil, tabular array salt together with pepper.

Michael: Any variety of spicy vegetable curry warms my oculus on mutual frigidity wintertime nights. It's difficult to become yesteryear a creamy pumpkin soup either (I've merely trawled the archives - how convey nosotros non made a pumpkin soup since nosotros moved here?)

5. What vegetables are inwards your refrigerator together with freezer correct now?

Cindy: This I tin respond for both of us! Baby spinach leaves, mushrooms, cabbage, together with a leftover salad lunchbox of tomato, carrot, lettuce together with cucumber. We are wretched planners together with frequent shoppers, thus our refrigerator rarely contains much to a greater extent than than what nosotros require for our side yesteryear side meal.

6. Is at that topographic point a vegetable you lot actually similar but don't brand much yourself?

Cindy: Beetroot. Like many Aussies, I grew upward oblivious to all beetroot except the canned materials on Grandma's tabular array at Dominicus tiffin (right side yesteryear side to the canned corn kernels *shudder*). But a few years agone I experienced an epiphany inwards the degree of grated fresh beetroot inwards a wrap. Since thus I've also sampled the delicious really Swedish roasted beetroot. Maybe this wintertime I'll sew the courage to brand borscht!

Michael: I've enjoyed radishes inwards that salad mentioned above, but I mean value that's the entirely fourth dimension we've used them. We're likely non every bit adventurous every bit nosotros should endure when it comes to foreign vegetables.

Cindy: Tag time! I nominate:
